Pigeon and Bird Control for Buildings

Pigeon Control

Bird work is proofing work. Clearing a ledge without changing it simply makes space for the next birds to use the same ledge.

Pigeons return to a roosting site persistently, which is why bird control is mostly about physical exclusion rather than treatment. Netting, spikes, wire systems and closing the gaps into loft and eave voids are what change the outcome. Removing the birds and leaving the ledge exactly as it was gives you the same problem with different birds.

The reason to act is not only the mess. Accumulated droppings are corrosive and hold moisture against a surface, blocked gutters and downspouts cause water damage, and nesting material in a void is both a fire consideration and a home for secondary insects. Solar arrays are a common and awkward case, because the space beneath a panel is sheltered, warm and nearly ideal.

The survey establishes which surfaces are being used and how, because the proofing method follows from that. A narrow ledge, a wide parapet, a signage void and the underside of a solar array each need a different approach, and the wrong method is either ineffective or visually unacceptable on a building people look at.

Who it is for

Property managers and homeowners with birds roosting on ledges, signage, solar arrays, or in loft and eave voids..

What you get

• Proofing and exclusion rather than removal alone
• Fouling cleared and the surface assessed, since droppings hold moisture and corrode
• Solar array undersides, signage voids, parapets and eaves surveyed specifically
• Method chosen for the surface, so the proofing works and still looks acceptable
